    Which is why I love cats

    That's so sad about the dogs...that they are abused and that they are allowed to harm people. I don't like to see animals euthanized, but you can't have them out mauling children.

    I think cats are pretty awesome, too. :)

    Oh, and today was a big fat fail-whale of a run. This will be the only week for a month where I can sleep in a little and I've been rocking that--but it's also the hottest weather of the year so far and in the low 90s by lunch time. And guess when I've been getting out? Ugh. Today I ran a whole mile...and then I quit because my knee hurt and I felt like I needed someone to wring me out like a sponge.

    Tomorrow the kiddos have a mid-morning doctor appointment, so if I want to run it will have to be early. And since I basically didn't run today, I guess I'll be setting that alarm clock.

    I almost forgot to log my run from this afternoon. Busy day at work. I didn't get a chance to run until late in the afternoon and boy was it hot. Had to rush after my run to make a meeting after work (non work related). Just now settling down and getting ready for bed. Early morning with my Panera Pounders group run.

    More hot miles tonight testing out a new multisport watch (910XT) - picked it up on clearance for $125 as I needed something to measure power for my bike, wanted to follow the bike workouts in my tri plan, needed better swim functionality, and my Forerunner 225 won't last me the 10.5 hours for my full Ironman in the fall.

    12 more days of Florida running until I return back to the cooler northeast.

    7/2 - 9 miles
    7/4 - 1 mile
    7/5 - 7 miles
    7/6 - 5 miles

    Total: 23 miles
    Goal: 180 miles
    Remaining: 158 miles

    2016 Race Schedule:
    Disney Marathon - Jan 6 - 3:29:09
    Gasparilla 15K - Feb 20 - 1:01:59
    Ironman 70.3 Florida - Apr 10 - 5:07:51
    Pittsburgh Marathon - May 1 - 3:08:25
    Ironman 70.3 Augusta - Sep 25
    Chicago Marathon - Oct 9
    Ironman Florida - Nov 5

    @raptor2763 - Kinda on the opposite end of the spectrum here w.r.t. mileage goals (just ran a 3:08 marathon/Boston Qualifier w. 50-60 slow easy miles/week at 3-4 minutes/mile above my marathon pace w. only about 5 miles/week of speedwork). Optimal running BMI is about 20-21 for marathons, and I find it much much easier to take & keep weight off by keeping my volume up. Still, I haven't been injured in 4 years of running, and given my race schedule (w. an IM 70.3 in Sep, Marathon in Oct, and full IM in November), staying healthy is priority #1 at this point. Being retired also helps on the free time front.
